  • This video shows you exactly how I turned my cheap mattress from Amazon into a mattress that is more comfortable than a Tempurpedic.
    I searched high and low for mattresses and was shocked at how much they were!!
    I really wanted a mattress that felt like a high-end hotel bed and honestly, I figured out a way to do exactly that for a fraction of the cost.
    Here's exactly what I bought:
    14" MATTRESS - amzn.to/3eyrTef
    EXTRA THICK MATTRESS TOPPER: amzn.to/2K7HGCG
    SHEET SET: amzn.to/3euDWJ9
    SILK PILLOWCASES: amzn.to/2Vy4IYK
    COMFORTER (I bought 2 so it was extra fluffy): amzn.to/2VfZQZl
    DUVET COVER: amzn.to/2XGkuU3
    MATTRESS PROTECTOR: amzn.to/2KdMWVn
    PILLOW PROTECTORS: amzn.to/2xpfkBb
    VELVET PILLOWS (in cream white): amzn.to/2VNCSIb
    ANTELOPE PILLOW: americanschoolofcharm.com/
    Want to see where I got everything for my first apartment? - bysophialee.com/first-apartme...
    That's the exact things I used to turn my cheap mattresses into something I look forward to getting into every single night...hahaha seriously.

    Unfortunately, I never write reviews especially negative ones. Here's the thing. If this video provides financial compensation by having us click recommended links, be transparent and let us know. I purchased all the products recommended in the video and they are VERY low quality. Thank goodness I am using this for a guest room. If you're going to use these products daily please know they will NOT provide the quality of comfort specified in this video. I bought all these products and my guest room queen mattress feels the same. The mattress pad is flat like a pancake. If you're on a budget purchase at your own risk. The tips to add layers are of quality the recommended products are not. I hope this helps someone.

Like hands down, best mattress I ever had. I've had it for 3 years now and it's still holding up like new and I don't have a mattress pad.

    @desertdweller8683 3 роки тому +5

    Old vid I know, but I wanted to say thank you, thanks to your suggestion I got the mattress topper. We love it. I was actually looking for a way to improve our mattress...it's memory foam and not soft at all...this was a great pad..soft AND actually stays on the bed! This was useful information for anyone that wants a softer feeling mattress.
    I personally don't care for micro fiber sheets though...I know they are super popular right now...but...to me they sleep hot, and just feel....not quite right. I prefer a really nice all cotton set. However, the micro fiber can be a good budget option, no wrinkles, and probably hold up well, just not my preference..

    • @GooshawnXD
      @GooshawnXD 2 роки тому +1

    I got a topper, and electric heat fleece blanket and a mattress protector. But I put the electric fleece blanket on top of the topper and then the mattress protector on top of that to protect the electric blanket? I do have another layer like a bedding sheet underneath all this. That’s a really good deal for a mattress.

      @@BySophiaLee Do you use 2 king size comforter, 2 over-sized queen comforters or 2 regular Queen comforters for the queen size bed? Same question for the duvet...king or queen size? Lastly, do you use 26” x 26” pillows and 24” x 24” covers or stick with 26” x 26” pillow covers?

    Is the mattress you bought the same one you link it says it’s 12 inches on the website

      Just checked and looks like the 14" is out of stock now :(. I'm not exactly sure how much the 2 inch difference makes but that is still the same brand! Hopefully it comes back in stock ASAP!

    Do you recommend another mattress since the one you linked is no longer available?

      ah I have been searching everywhere to see if the brand sells it at another place! I am hoping that amazon restocks it soon
